HELP: Why is QUAKE III so damn hard to play?

Am I the only one that's having problems playing Quake III?
This game is nothing like Quake I & II.
I can't figure Quake III out.
There's only one guy moving around shooting at me and he runs 90mph
and is too hard to catch or shoot at.
After killing him then you have to do the same thing again to five
more guys.

What's going on?
Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Terry in Texas

Start it off at a lower bot setting until you get used to the game play.
Set the FOV a little bit higher so you can see what's coming at you.  It
gives you a fishbowl effect at 110 or higher (I use 120).  Go here to learn
how to tweak Q3 http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/  a good site for most
problems.

Correct.

Read your manual, or the online versions.

Wait till later when there's 5-6 of 'em.
